Ep. 34. / Kamptal's cool elegance kept in Allram bottles

The 34th Wine Ghosts podcast virtually goes into the Kamptal region of Austria, and hosts Lorenz Allram, the young winemaker behind the Allram wines. Lorenz gives a thorough introduction to the Kamptal terroir, explains the general tasting profiles of the three iconic Lower Austrian regions: Kamptal, Kremstal and Wachau. He also shares his take on minerality with us and why old vines are crucial to bring it forth. Lorenz also gives a masterclass on their famous Premier Crus like the Gaisberg and the Heiligenstein, but also introduces you to their St. Laurent, my great favourite, and to their Barrique influenced Grauburgunder Reserve which will certainly open your heart. Last but not least, he shares the story and some secret ingredients of their epic gin: the Wildstück, which lies on friendship and locality.A refreshing and pleasant conversation with this humble, young wine wizard.   Guest: Lorenz Allram Winery: Allram, Kamptal, Austria Wine Ghosts on Instagram: @wineghosts   Wine Ghosts' Channels (Instagram, Podcast etc.): https://linktr.ee/wineghosts  Wine Ghosts' E-Mail: [email protected]
